Actually, it's the other way around.  The filter keeps the phone from
interfering with the ADSL signal.  ADSL uses frequencies that are well
beyond the range a phone is capable of reproducing and well above hearing.

"26.075 kHz <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KHz> to 137.825 kHz is used
for upstream communication, while 138 kHz – 1104 kHz is used for
downstream communication"

The ADSL filter is a low pass device, which keeps the telephone set from
affecting the ADSL signal:
